The Timber AnnpIr.

Notwithstanding the great draw upon
the wood reserves of the country there is
no danger of exhaustion at present. New
England is by no means denuded of its tim
her The great northwestern pineries are
comparatively unexhausted. There is also
vigorous second growth of white pine in
New England, where the forests are already
yielding between 200 900, 900 and 300, 600, .
600 feet of timber annually. Southern
pine, though stripped from the banks of
streams flowing into the Atlantic, is prac-
tically untouched in the Gulf States, es-
pecially those bordering ON the Mississippi.
The hardwood forests of the Mississippi
basin are still prolific. In Michigan, par
ticularly the northern peninsula, hard wood
is plentiful, maple especially. In the Pa
cltic coast region the great forests of fir
are practically intact. The forest capacity
of the country is vast. Strange to say,
the decimating element of most potence is
fire, and not the axes of mercenary timber

WHAT IS OZONE. The

WHAT IS OzoNE.-The curious substance
known as ozone, the nature of which was
so long a mystery, and about which so
many conflicting hypothesis have been de
vised, is now, says the Lancet, becoming
well known to us. Ozone is denser form
of oxygen. Its specific gravity is pa, that
of common oxygen being 10, and that of
hydrogen /. In the concentrated state it is
powerful irritant poison, and it is very
unstable, decomposing with explosion and
with evolution of heat, and exerting n most
powerful action on oxidizable materials
For some time past it has been known that
it liquefes under the influence of combined
cold and pressure. The liquid is indigo
blue, and its vapor in tolerably concen
trated state has a color which can only be
compared to that of an Italian sky. 1t is
very dangerous substance to work with

The Old Homes.

Home readers of The Phoenix should not
fail to notice what L. f. Adams, manager
of the Vermont Live Stock companys
ranches, says of the chances of those who
leave home in the east to go west Mr.,
Adams's opportunities for observation in
the west, and his practical knowledge of
farming in the east, make him a competent
judge. 1t is something worth considering
by our young men and all others who are
anxious to get away from New England
farms, that ''his repeated opportunities for
observation have convinced him that the
average farmer, young or old, who leaves
home in the east and goes out west, ex
pecting to better his condition, makes the
great mistake of his life"

An Odd Poker story.


Thomas H. Davis for many years was
one Of Barnum's foreign agents. and his
duties called him 10 all parts Of the
world. Yesterday MIR. Davis leaned
back in chair and in a quiet voice in
quired: did you ever hear the story
Of the big poker game played between
Deafy Gaylord and myself?n Nobody
had, and so Mr.. Davis proceeded to tell
the story:
''Well. GAYLORD and |. who were at
that time in Barnum's employ. were en-
route from Suez. Egypt to Bombay,
India. We were passengers on the
steamer Rohilla. Being unacquainted
with any of our fellow-passengers, we
were at sea as to how to pass away the
time. Finally we hit it. Quietly seat
ing ourselves at table and drawing n
deck of cards we commenced to play
poker. No one noticed US for time,
but when they heard the betting-I'll
see you fifty and raise you hundred
the passengers, mostly Englishmen,
gathered about the table. / was APP
parently as cool as a sherry cobbler in
midsummer, and dealt the cards from
the top and bottom SO boldly that some
of the bystanders took pity on Gaylord,
and, taking HIM one side. gave him a
pointer. Gaylord let them have their
say, but would not be convinced but
that his partner was II dead square
man.
"Do you know himP they queried of
Gaylord.
Never met him before in my life,
was the reply. and then resuming his
seat. proceeded to be robbed as openly
as ever a man was The game ended
by Gaylord being $4,000 loser.
"When the other passengers were
not about would return Gaylord his
losings.
THE following day 1 was eyed suspi-
ciously and Gaylord pitied as the poor
victim. We continued to act as
strangers toward each other. and casu-
ally meeting in front of the table where
we sat the night before, politely bowed,
and with wave of our hands toward
the chairs, took our seats. Again did
the stakes run high, and l kept cheat
ing and raking in the money. The
spectators became excited, and MUIR
murs of disfavor filled the air.
"'Ten thousand to call, said Gay
lord
"'Pll visit YOU was my rejoinder,
and, showing down straight flush,
proceeded to take in the cash.
''rhen Gaylord was again taken
aside, and told he was being literally
robbed by sharper,
